DELIVERING 15 MILLION LBs in OUR 15th YEAR!
What we do
As a national non-profit, we mobilize transportation networks to deliver surplus food to communities in need. Together, we’re increasing access to nutritious food, fighting hunger, and reducing food waste. Take a look at our network’s impact and how our programs empower real, local change.

Food Insecurity on the Rise for the Second Year in a Row
Food insecurity in the U.S. increased by 7.4% in 2023 - increasing again after a decade of decline. More than 47 million Americans, including 1 in 5 children, lack access to fresh, reliable, and affordable food. To combat the rising number of food insecure households, Move For Hunger is working to deliver more food each year - including a record 15 million pounds in 2024!
In December 2024, the Farm Bill received another extension, ensuring a continuation of the vital Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. However, federal payments to victims of SNAP benefit theft are ending - leaving it up to the states. This means some families may end up compromised and unable to use their benefits. Will we see a new bill in 2025?
HOW HUNGER AFFECTS YOUR COMMUNITIES
From Awareness to Action
Move For Hunger enables us (and our network of supplier partners) to play a direct role in the shared responsibility we all have to be sustainably impactful corporate citizens.

Launched in 2021, Move For Hunger’s Food Recovery Program tackles hunger and reduces food waste at scale. We work with our transportation partners to deliver surplus food from farms and other sources directly to communities in need. In efforts to divert food from rotting in landfills, the program has pioneered innovative transportation and cold storage solutions by working with a diverse range of partners across the country - from gleaning organizations to farmers markets. In just a few years, we’ve rescued nearly 12 million meals!
Rescue Meals With Us
Last fall, disaster struck after two major hurricanes barreled through much of the Southeast. With food banks flooded, millions without power, and residents stranded, our incredible network of movers and partners stepped up to the plate to transport more than 800,000 lbs. of much needed food and drinks to these affected communities.
Program Impact:
- $13,639 raised for Disaster Relief in 2024.
- 832,915.00 lbs of food donated in 2024.
- 18 movers participated in efforts.
This morning, 2,117 cases of frozen hash brown potatoes arrived at our loading dock... We will be sharing this bounty with our guests at all FISH Hospitality Pantries locations, as well as working with other partners to distribute regionally. On behalf of all who will benefit from this wonderful donation, our sincere thanks.

We are grateful to have the support of the nation’s leading property management companies and suppliers who are working with us to make this industry more sustainable and socially responsible.
Making Every Donation Count
As I waited in an extremely long line [at the food bank] to drop 30 bags off, I was able to witness just how very important the work of Move For Hunger is. I was the only one dropping off donations; the other 20 vehicles were all picked up from the food shelf. You probably don’t hear it enough, thanks for everything you do!

Highlights from 2024
Our race team is a national network of runners and walkers who dedicate their performance in endurance events to help fight hunger. In its 10th year, Team Move For Hunger saw more runners participate than ever before and raised the most funds in a single year! Whether it’s your first 5K or an ultramarathon, your participation in these races helps fuel our efforts to feed the 47 million Americans who are struggling to find their next meal.
When I learned about Team Move for Hunger, I knew that was the charity for me! I have been so excited about it since the beginning. To put myself through college, I worked as a mover. I know of the hard work and dedication it takes to do that job. And I think Move for Hunger did a fantastic job seizing an opportunity to help those in need that fit within their business model. It's just an effective way to help others! Running the Berlin Marathon with Team Move for Hunger was a privilege. I am grateful for their support and all the good in the world that they do. While raising money, I told everyone about this charity and how I truly believed in what they do. Thank you again and I hope we can cross paths again in the future!
